Marriage cert problems
Of course it's too good to be true. Now they are telling her that she has to change her marriage certificate so that her name matches her new birth certificate and USA naturalisation papers. All of this because she changed her name when she was nine years old. After this, then she can register her marriage and then finally a passport.

FAQ: Tell me more about your quest
Question
Let me ask a series of questions, that will hopefully clear up the confusion here:
1. When exactly did you first decide to look for Romanian citizenship?
2. Did you mention the fact of your mum's Romanian BIRTH to the Romanian authorities AT THAT TIME?
3. If you did, what did they say? Why did they not tell you at that point that she was still a citizen, in WHICH case you would be eligible for citizenship.
4. If they HAD told you this at that point, why did you announce it as a surprise in October 2004 that you had just found out she was a citizen. If you answer those four questions individually, clearly and concisely, then we may get a step closer to solving this riddle.
Answer
1. I started looking for citizenship in October 2004. I had orginally called them in the fall of 1999 and when I told them that my mom was now an American, they said that it was impossible that I get Romanian citizenship.
2. Yes.
3. I did mention my mom's Romanian birth to the authorities at the time, but if she and I want passport, we have to do the paperwork.
4. I was surprised, because my mom had always thought that she was only a US citizen. Be sure to read about what has happened so far. You can find everything in the quick summary of dates.

FAQ: Aren't you automatically Romanian since your mom was born there?
Question
You then come waltzing in and announce that you have just found out that your mother was still a Romanian citizen. if you knew all along that your mother HAD BEEN BORN in Romania (forget her citizenship for the moment, here), why didn't you make raising this with the Romanian authorities your very first action? They would have informed you that she was still a citizen; more pertinently, they would have informed you that this fact would in itself render you eligible for citizenship.
In simple terms, here, you omitted to tell them something very important when you first started your enquiries about citizenship. Why? How could you not think it was highly relevant, that your mother had been born there? This has nothing to do whatsoever with what you THOUGHT her citizenship was or what her name was. Is it that you omitted something really important through your negligence, and are now trying to cover your embarrassment?
Answer
I did raise the born in Romania question, showed the passport from Romanian. However, since it was issued over 40 years ago, and my mom changed her name multiple times, and got married. She has to register all these things. They told me that she and I are citizens, but before I can get the passport, reigstries need to be made. Be sure to read about what has happened so far.

FAQ: What documents do you need to become Romanian?
Question
When you had the VERY FIRST thought about obtaining Romanian citizenship (well before you started this diary), you already knew that your mother was born there. Why didn't you ask the authorities in Romania AT THAT VERY MOMENT what you would need? You might have gotten enough information so that you would KNOW that your mother still had the possibility of holding citizenship... instead of waiting for that little piece of info to fall into your lap accidentally.
Answer
I did ask them at that very moment what I needed. She still holds citizenship, but needs a LOT of docs. I was 17 when I first called the embassy. As I said before, we were all under the impression that America didn't let you hold more than one citizenship. Be sure to read about what has happened so far.
